I’m A Celebrity‘s Coleen Rooney confronted Dean McCullough, Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles about their Jungle Junkyard façade on Saturday’s show.

The wife of Wayne Rooney, 38, who was nicknamed Wagatha Christie after her infamous trial with WAG Rebekah Vardy, was the first campmate to unmask the trio during the Terrifying Teddy Bear’s Picnic – showing off her investigative skills once again.

As the main campmates made their way to the trial clearing to meet the Jungle Junkyard campmates, GK Barry said: ‘I can’t wait to see those lying little thieves’

Meanwhile Jane Moore shared a plan of action to catch Maura, Dean and Richard red handed, saying: ‘So what we should do is, say nothing to them. Don’t let them know that we know.’

Podcaster GK, 25, echoed: ‘We think they’re playing a game with us, so we’re going to go and get them. Game on’.

The Terrifying Teddy Bears Picnic trial zone was kitted out with a long dining table, teddy bears and mock cakes for all of the main camp to take a seat behind in preparation for the picnic.

The wife of Wayne Rooney , 38, who was nicknamed Wagatha Christie after her infamous trial with WAG Rebekah Vardy, was the first campmate to unmask the trio 

As hosting duo Ant and Dec welcomed the trio into the trial clearing, they were asked to share their woes of Jungle Junkyard life.

Keeping up the façade, Love Island alum Maura, 33, showed off her acting skills replying: ‘We’re really hungry’, while Richard, 62, described ‘the deprivation, the hardship’ he had faced.

Dean, 32, added: ‘I slept on the floor last night so my back is absolutely broke.’

But the main campmates didn’t buying one bit of it, as Alan remarked: ‘They’re not getting a job in Corrie, I can tell you that’.

As Ant and Dec invited Coleen to take the floor, the media personality told the trio with a straight face: ‘I’m not convinced that you are actually in the junkyard.’

Dean looked amused and he couldn’t help but gush as he pointed and said: ‘Wagatha Christie strikes again!’

Elsewhere, Tulisa added: ‘You have officially been rumbled in the jungle.’

Reverend Richard came clean, revealing: ‘Circumstances in the junkyard are not quite as tough as we’d led you to believe.’

Things escalated quickly bringing unexpected revelations, as Dean and Maura admitted they had quite a pampering session as they enjoyed a bubble bath.

As if it wasn’t enough, Melvin found out Maura and Richard were enjoying cheese sandwiches and tea whilst he got dunked on during the other day’s challenge.

‘But I heard you crying!,’ Melvin said to Maura in shock, to which Maura replied: ‘I’m a good actress.’

As the ploy was up, the Jungle Junkyard trio also revealed they had sought a bed and food from the main camp with good reason.

They explained it was all to win meals for the ‘junk food buffet’ for everyone, and hosts revealed they currently had won 6 out of a possible 12 places at the buffet, with 6 portions still up for grabs.

As Dean was told he could take a seat with his main campmates, Richard and Maura learned as they’d been rumbled they would be facing the Terrifying Teddy Bear’s Picnic in order to win the final six portions of food for the junk food buffet.

A shocked Maura said to Richard: ‘Father, can we say a prayer please?’ 

On Friday’s episode, viewers of the show were left baffled by a major editing gaffe.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed Maura and Danny‘ names were completely wrong when they were speaking in the Bush Telegraph. 

As Maura appeared on screen during the segment – instead of her name, she was unintentionally introduced as fellow campmate Melvin Odoom, the TV presenter and DJ.

Meanwhile McFly star Danny, 38, was called his other fellow celeb campmate, Dean McCullough, Radio 1 DJ.
